Wayne Gretzky’s last game-worn jersey sold for record price!

Here are some facts:
Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player of all time.
Many of his game-worn jerseys have been auctioned off for historic amounts.
The autographed jersey from his last career game just sold for a record price.

That jersey worn by Gretzky when he recorded his last NHL point sold for $715,120 with Grey Flannel Auctions on Sunday night, per TSN.

It hence became the third highest selling hockey jersey auctioned off, , behind Gretzky’s final Edmonton Oilers jersey ($1.452 million, also with Grey Flannel Auctions) and Paul Henderson’s Canada national team jersey worn during the 1972 Summit Series against the USSR ($1.275 million in 2010).

The New York Rangers’ jersey was last worn by the Great One on April 18th, 1999, the last game that Gretzky ever played. In that game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the legendary forward played 22 shifts for a total of 22:30 time on ice. He registered a single assist on the power play goal, which became his his 2,857th and final NHL point as a member of the Blue Shirts.

Gretzky retired in 1999 and was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. And we don’t have to remind you why with a career spanning 21 seasons and 1487 games and many records in his history books. Including some highest selling hockey jerseys at auctions!
